I have a standard game loop running with dbSyncOn(); dbSyncRate(60); while(LoopGDK()); yada yada yada, dbSync(); after all that once the program is out of the loop, I have some dbPrints displaying the game score. The problem is they flash for a split second and then disappear. Anyone know why they only flash for a second. I have a dbWaitKey(); infront of those statements and one after. Also tried putting a dbWait(5000); behind the dbPrint and it still flashes super fast and disappears. I figure it has to have something to do with a screen refresh, but it is outside the loop so I don't get why it is doing this. I have 0 compile errors or warnings and other than this the program works fine.....
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

How are you exiting the loop? If you're just pressing the escape key, it will close the program immediately which would result in that split second flash. Try instead using dbDisableEscapeKey() before your loop, then breaking on escape or whatever conditions you want to end the game with. (i.e., if(dbEscapeKey())break; )

Post your code to get more specific help.
